Body Language
She had all the right signs. Her head was cast down and she spoke with a lower voice, refusing to look at me in the eye.
I knew it there and then she was lying.
Remembering an article I read on body language, which explains scientifically how one can detect a lying person from the gestures, facial expressions and eyes. What’s more, if you are smart enough, you can even guess (correctly) the truth.
This is based on research that claims human beings communicate heavily on body language. In fact, people use 60% of body language, 30% on the tone of voice and the remaining 10% merely on what is being said.
But I didn’t quite believe it though. I needed some solid evidence first.
My curiousity drove me to phone close friends to confirm what she had said. And voila, it’s true! She did lie.
Huh. Why didn’t I trust my intuition before?
I felt deceived, hurt and betrayed.
Nonetheless, I believe what comes around goes around. I could have sued her for what she has done. But life is fair if you believe in God. There is a reward and punishment for everything.
And I was right. She told me herself. Someone else lied and tricked her, just like she lied and tricked me. Much to my surprise it was concerning on the exact same thing she lied to me about.
Subhanallah. Syukur Alhamdulillah.
Life is fair, don’t you think?
